Dropping your Sg with the LR in the tank will slow down the nitrifying bacteria, so no big deal, but it will possibly kill a lot of worms, and all starfish, pods etc

I don't have many starfish if any. And getting rid of some bristle worms would actually be a nice plus they've caught on to the trap it seems

Have at 'er if you want to Hypo your rock
I did a small piece in the QT and it killed aiptasia
Plus all the big worms came out for capture, and it killed ugly palys, tube worms, feather dusters and the like

Just keep in mind that all the die-off in it will add to any potential ammonia issues, and slow down your DT's recovery after you re-introduce the fishies

Up to you, but I wouldn't hypo my rock
It's like starting over, but without any bacterial filtration
